Chief Operating Officer of Strukton Rail, Jacob Zeeman, said Acuit.Systems is a bespoke service that will enable commitment to performance-based outcomes for rail infrastructure assets.

“Every rail network is unique in its configuration. Our service will enable our customers to better align their staff and activities with a common strategic objective, thereby reducing whole-of-life costs for long life assets and sustaining or improving asset condition over time.
Strukton Rail has developed processes and techniques to support its performance based on performance-driven maintenance contracts in Europe, and we look forward to extending that to Australia”
